Wilson disease with thrombocytopenia (case report).

We present an adolescent patient with WD accompanied with secondary amenorrhea, and thrombocytopenia. NK, a 14 year-old girl, had amenorrhea for 5 months despite having had regular menses for 2 years. An abdominal ultrasound scan revealed ascitis and some ovarian cysts.

[Blood biochemical changes in maternally deprived children and their emotional status].

Environmental rearing conditions during the neonatal period are critical for the establishment of neurobiological factors controlling behavior and stress responsiveness. Early maternal deprivation in animals consisting of a single 24-h maternal deprivation episode during early neonatal life has been proposed as an animal model for certain psychopathologies including anxiety, depression and schizophrenic-related disorders. The aim of the present research was to show the mechanisms how the early maternal deprivation in humans influences the emotional status of children.

[Some indicators of children homeostasis, living in arsenic polluted environment].

Two groups of school children (7-16 years old) were studied. One child was from Lukhuni gorge, where arsenic was mined and processed for many years; 11 children were living far (>50 km) from the territory of arsenic mining. Pediatric monitoring revealed significant increase of general morbidity, particularly acute respiratory diseases.

[Dependence of child health on the ecology].

The purpose of the work was to establish correlation between detected with the help of micronuclei in exfoliation cells infringements in the genetic disorder of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) at children living in Lukhuni gorge. Heavy metals having mutagenous trait can cause variety of diseases and first of all influence on the genetic apparatus, which damage often reflects chromosome change. The study of micronuclei in exfoliation cells is comparatively new, easily reachable and believable informative method.
